about

There comes a point in your life when you stop worrying about falling in love and start worrying about staying in love. – David

lyrics

I wrap my arms around my knees
While you race to fall asleep
'Cause I know what you're gonna dream
You give me a hurried kiss goodnight
You can't wait to turn out the lights
To be with her when you close your eyes

'Cause as you fall asleep
You think that maybe this should be the last night
You spend without her lying by your side
And it took 'til now for me to realize
You're gonna leave if you dream of her

What's it gonna take to make you stay awake, oh darling?
She won’t last, still you’re drifting away
What's it gonna take to make you stay awake, oh darling?
To open your eyes and stay

I know how it feels to realize that
You let someone get stuck in your head
And worry you like feeling like that
But I know when you wake up to reality
It's never gonna be like the dream
So I'm only with you when I fall asleep

But when I look at you
Holding your pillow in your arms I see
You holding her, and not hanging on to me
Such a tragic way for you to leave
Eyes closed, chasing some stupid dream

Stay with your forever
I am your forever
